He was surely very sorry to hear of the passing away of
your father who was such an old and devoted servant of the
Cause. Such persons, at their passing, proceed to the presence
of Baha’u’llah and partake of His infinite blessings and divine
bounties. They enter into a state which, should we only have
the eye to see, we would envy and earnestly desire. It is only
because we ignore the beautiful and glorious life of the world
beyond that we seem attached to our earthly abode and often
forget the goal of our very existence here.
